SET A GOAL WEIGHT

Medications for weight loss are typically recommended in conjunction with lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise. Here are some weight loss medications that were commonly used as of my last knowledge update in January 2022:

  1. Orlistat (Xenical, Alli): This medication inhibits the absorption of dietary fat and is used to aid weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie diet.

  2. Phentermine (Adipex-P, Lomaira): Phentermine is an appetite suppressant that is used short-term as part of an overall weight-loss plan.

  3. Liraglutide (Saxenda): Originally developed for diabetes management, Saxenda is also FDA-approved for long-term weight management. It works by reducing appetite.

  4. Naltrexone/Bupropion (Contrave): This medication is a combination of an opioid receptor antagonist (naltrexone) and an antidepressant (bupropion). It is used to help manage weight.

  5. Lorcaserin (Belviq): Belviq is a serotonin receptor agonist that helps with appetite control. It was approved for weight loss, but its availability may vary.

  6. Phentermine/Topiramate (Qsymia): This combination medication works as an appetite suppressant and has been approved for long-term weight management.
